a) Wouldn't it rock, if a search using beagle (www.gnome.org/projects/beagle/) would include results from the alexandria
library? In order to do this, I think there would only be a filter needed that can read yaml and associate the alexandria
yaml files with alexandria.

b) Using Beagle as its backend, Dashboard would be able to show book information from Alexandria (perhaps even with
online refresh through a book provider) if there were Alexandria widgets and renderer available in Dashboard.

Drawback: Beagle and Dashboard use mono and I don't know of a Ruby compiler that can generate CLR code for mono.

Best regards,
